Taxes & Refunds

Taxes & Refunds

In Spain, value-added tax (VAT) is known as IVA (ee-ba; impuesto sobre el valor añadido). Visitors are entitled to a refund of the 21% IVA on purchases costing more than €90.16 from any shop, if they are taking them out of the EU within three months. Ask the shop for a cash-back (or similar) refund form showing the price and IVA paid for each item, and identifying the vendor and purchaser. Present the refund form to the customs booth for IVA refunds at the airport, port or border when you leave the EU.
